Abstract :Meat is one of the foodstuffs that are eaten for meeting the nutritional requirements of human body. In order to obtain meat, humans have benefited from animals. Hence domestic animals such as cattle, sheep, chickens have been slaughtered and wild animals such as deer, antelopes have been hunted or slaughtered since time immemorial. Some religions and philosophical movements have forbidden to eating meat because of that they have disapproved of killing living creatures. Except for some restrictions, The Islam has been permitted eating meat and other foods of animal origin. According to the Qur’an the only foods forbidden are pork, flowing blood, animals dedicated to other than Allah and meat of dead animals. Because the meat of animal which had died before slaughter is prohibited, rules for animal slaughter have always become one of the most important topics of Islamic jurisprudence. There are three basic pre-requisites in animal slaughter. The first of these pre-requisites relates to the process of slaughter itself. Second one relates to the slaughterer and third one relates to reciting Basmalah at the time of slaughtering process. In this review it was described forbidden foods of animal origin that are mentioned in Qur’an and it was explained in detail the three basic requirements of Islamic procedure for animal slaughter. In other respects, it was given technical information and made a mention of religious views about some modern slaughter methods such as stunning and mechanical slaughter.Keywords : Et, Hayvan kesimi, Bayıltma, Mekanik kesim
